The person who opened the door for Yun You was a disheveled man in his forties.

He was wearing a shabby white tank top, covered with dirty oil stains and cookie crumbs. His dry hair was both messy and sparse, looking like it hadn't been properly taken care of for months.

Whether it was due to staying up late or a disrupted schedule, the man's eyes were bloodshot, his face swollen, and at a glance, it was obvious he was in a severe state of sub-health, looking even a bit ferocious.

If he went out at night, this guy might even scare some passing children.

However, Yun You didn't mind the man's appearance.

Because she knew this face, the man who wrote internet novels looked just like this.

This time, it was the little girl herself who felt embarrassed.

She didn't expect the man to actually return... She originally just wanted to test the intruder... sending gifts and such was just a facade to confuse others.

But embarrassment aside, before finding the enemy, Yun You still tried to maintain her previous demeanor, cautiously lowering her head, pretending to be harmless.

"You..."

Looking at the timid little girl, the man slightly frowned.

"I came home early this morning, what's the matter? Is there something wrong?"

His tone was as cold as usual, which was in line with Yun You's expectations.

Yun You had heard from some hoodlums about the man's story.

It was said that when he first started delivering food, because he ran diligently and had a decent temper, he often received tips from customers and earned quite a bit of money, around a salary of three to four thousand a month.

But later, the man accidentally got into a traffic accident, not only breaking his leg but also scattering the goods in his delivery cart.

Originally, after such an accident, the company should have assisted the man in treatment and provided some compensation according to the "workers' compensation" law...

But the delivery company refused to pay him a cent, citing that the man hadn't purchased the highest commercial insurance, and instead demanded he compensate for the lost goods.

This was certainly unreasonable, but unfortunately, the company had plenty of money, capable of hiring the best lawyers to fight lawsuits most favorable to themselves, while the man could only rely on free public service lawyers, enduring years of backlog...

After a few rounds, the man couldn't hold on any longer, he just accepted the defeat with his broken leg.

Since then, the once imaginative novel writer lost his dreams and sank into a mire.

He used to be a nice person, when Yun You first moved in, he had delivered instant noodles for half a month to the little girl who couldn't afford to eat...

People who make a living by writing, although they may not have great skills, generally aren't that bad...

These people always hold a naive belief, even if they don't have much money themselves, they are willing to help others, asking for nothing in return.

The man used to be such a humorous yet kind-hearted little person.

But now, he had fallen into such a dreadful state, it was truly regrettable.

Thinking of this, Yun You simply went along, handing over the frozen dumplings she originally used as a disguise.

"Uncle, when I was flipping through the fridge earlier, I remembered that I had won quite a few dumplings in last month's online campaign... I can't finish them by myself anytime soon, and I'm worried they won't taste good if left too long, so I decided to give them to you."

As she spoke, Yun You tapped the dumplings, making a crisp sound of "bang bang bang."

"Don't worry, they're all stuffed with meat, they're not spoiled. Just pay a little attention when you take them back to eat..."

"I don't need them."

Before Yun You finished speaking, the man suddenly interrupted.

"Thank you for your kindness, but I don't have the time to cook dumplings, you should take them back and eat them yourself."

"If you really can't finish them, just throw them away, anyway, they're free..."

The man didn't say much, after two sentences, he pushed aside the dumplings and intended to close the door.

Upon seeing this, Yun You was slightly stunned. A hint of shock flashed through her eyes, but it quickly disappeared without a trace.

"I see."

She chuckled twice and then put down the dumplings, whispering, "Well, in that case, I won't disturb you."

"Let's meet another day?"

Saying that, Yun You turned around, lifted her foot... seemingly ready to go home.

And the man dropped his guard, waving at the girl's back.

"Bye-bye, next time..."

"..."

"Swish—!"

Before the man could finish saying "meet," Yun You suddenly turned around and swung her fist expressionlessly.

Her actions were without the slightest hesitation, her fist was steady and heavy, directly aiming at the man's face!

The speed was too fast, the action too decisive, the man had no time to react and took the punch solidly, flying backward, knocking over the coffee table and three chairs consecutively before crashing into the sofa.

With this punch, the entire rental apartment turned into chaos.

Dust and wood chips flew everywhere, an originally fairly tidy room was now a mess, stirred by broken furniture.

But none of this mattered.

What truly mattered was the man who took that punch.

His ribs were shattered, seven of them broken on the spot, his internal organs seemed to be displaced, churning as he shook in pain.

And his face, directly hit, underwent a dramatic change.

A human face should be soft, swelling high due to bruising, like a bloody bun.

But at the moment, the man's face... his skin was dented inward, revealing several strings of sparking electric wires.

Immediately, his skin, even his hair and upper body, flickered with a series of blurry mosaics.

It quickly flipped and reassembled into a new human face, replacing the current look of the man, revealing his true appearance.

It was a completely new face, one Yun You didn't recognize at all.

He was a young man in his twenties, with dyed yellow hair, wearing thick sunglasses, both cheeks and chin bearing metal grooves, and at the back of his neck, a USB port.

This was the standard decoration for a hacker... the port for connecting external devices and charging, the metal grooves were signal collectors, used to work with the chips implanted in the brain.

As for the face that could change its appearance at will... Yun You had seen this before, it was a type of universal disguise prosthetic called the [Bionic Electronic Face], capable of morphing into the appearance of others and releasing the biological pheromones of the imitated person, instinctively relaxing vigilance, making others believe he was the imitated person.

This guy, from the very beginning, wasn't the writer uncle, but the hacker with ill intent!

If nothing went wrong, this person should be the culprit who hacked Yun You's home monitoring...
